        I know a 25 year old who had a stroke last month because of covid complications. Sure, not deadly but... I don't want to have a stroke either

            The first response to Covid was totally out of measure in my opinion

            what-the-hell

            Inconveniencing boomers consuming their sit-in restaurant treats until they started blockading hospitals and breaking into government buildings until those inconveniences were rolled back was "out of measure?"

            Death is not the only negative outcome from Covid infection. When you consider the literature on Covid causing grey matter loss, prion disease, chronic vasculitis, cardiac disease, autoimmune disease, etc, you could argue death is actually one of the preferred outcomes.

            Immunity isn’t an on/off switch and the virus is mutating to escape immune detection. It seems like you do not have a solid grasp on the kinetics of vaccine and viral immunity, is there a question I can answer for you or would you like some resources that might help improve your comprehension?

                Yeah it’s fully terrifying.

                I’m extra freaked that now Covid is endemic in the deer populations because Cervid Wasting Disease is also endemic and I’m afraid they will interact somehow…

                Jesus fuck. : |

                I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that.

                  If you really want to scare yourself go read about FIP, which is what happens to cats when they get repeatedly infected with coronavirus.

            Bruh.

            The curse of successful mitigation is skeptics will then say afterwards that 'X was no big deal, look how few people died'

            Don't be one of those.
